  1. I believe that was one of the bug fixes in this version, yes.
  2. The server was rebooted yesterday just before 10:17am AZ time (no DST) and down for five minutes. I'm not sure about what you mean by the other part. What browser and OS?
  3. Probably the standard zinc on all other bolts? Later today I'm going to have to compare a few bolts and see. I was also planning to see if I can use XX Frankenbolts on the KTM for bungee points.
  4. Cost? I didn't know our bolts weren't stainless until I got a bike that had been in CA humidity and all the bolts had mildly damaged finish. In AZ they stay shiny. What's in the tube?

    Fork up-grade

    That bike was torn apart in his copious shop space last time I visited. A PM might get his attention, he's not around here much.
  6. Mine was a 2000. I spent a day in a dyno room tuning out the very minor problem and tweaking top end power. We confirmed the slight lean spot using the dyno, and added fuel. It really was tiny though, and maybe I just got lucky to occasionally want the throttle and RPM at just exactly the place that makes it noticeable. Either way though, it's not something I would have spent money to fix at all. The dyno day and the programmer were free, so they could use my bike for testing.
  7. There's a touch of a flat spot in the fueling curve, and you can hit a specific point if you try where it's not smooth. But it's certainly not abrupt in any way and is easy to ride fast and accelerate out of corners with no drama at all.
  8. Yup, you don't understand how any of this works, and are making incorrect decisions based on that.
  9. Which tells me your testing was incorrect, or you got an incorrect repeater, or something like that. Or your flip phone is on a different carrier? Or you did a shit job of mounting the outside antenna.
  10. Have you considered and/or tested a cellular repeater mounted outdoors or in the attic?
  11. Next to Jethro's Large Animal Vet and BBQ.
  12. So, your pipe is too small? But yeah, an expander should do it. Pain in the ass to get the pipe/bike to a muffler shop, but you can borrow one free from Auto Zone. https://www.autozone.com/loan-a-tools/loaner-tail-pipe-expander
  13. And on the way you can pick up discount meth in Placerville!
  14. This is a great idea since CA has so much extra electrical capacity.
  15. Not at all, since it doesn't work indoors. Why does this have to be repeated? Satellite signals don't go through obstructions. It doesn't meet any of the rest of the list of needs except for being waterproof.
  16. Because satellites don't work indoors. It's also kind of expensive.
  17. You can't use them indoors. What's BWCA?
  18. Found the offender.
  19. The CBR900 shock and aftermarket spring is the only one I recall.
  20. LEDs are better than HID for sure. Trying them side by side on various vehicles, the LED wins every time. They also have far fewer issues/failures and don't have the warmup problem. They don't have the problem of scattering light forward. There's truly zero reason for HID to exist any more. You can cut the original socket to make a perfect spacer. Took me five minutes to do both, mostly test fitting and re-trimming with the Dremel.
  21. I'd be looking at the ground side of things, considering your weather and how sometimes you leave bikes outside (not sure if this is one). Measure resistance from the bulb shell to ground, should be near zero on most bikes (didn't text a XX specifically).
  22. Yes, but has it been on your riding jacket since the mid-90s? No? Poser. I have LEDs in mine, and while "solve it" is a judgement call, I can tell you that the reach and reflectance are stunningly better than halogen. It took very minor hacksaw surgery to fit them (cutting the old base to fit). https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NXS9RHB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  23. That's 24,000km or 16k miles, at least in my manual. But we all learned that it simply "never" needs adjustment. I did one check in my...80k miles I think? Never out of spec.
  24. No, the internet has the Good Times virus, which we all know will cause Dutch Elm Disease in the elderly.
